Rossignol Experience 74 Carbon Skis + TPI²/Axium 100 Bindings 2012: The Rossignol Experience 74 Carbon Skis are a revolutionary new breed of all-mountain skis that have a unique organic turn shape with a round feel that's flowing and comfortable. AutoTurn Rocker combines traditional camber underfoot with a rockered tip and tail to make skiing easier, more secure and more fun than conventional skis. AutoTurn helps the skier learn how to carve at an accelerated pace with an easy maneuverability and speed control that never makes them feel locked into the turn. On hardpack and variable snow the traditional camber delivers power, energy and edge grip while the rockered tip and tail dramatically improve turn initiation. Meanwhile carbon laminates provide effective stability and dampness without the additional weight of metal. Combined with narrower dimensions and AutoTurn Rocker profile, the Experience 74 Carbon is stable, forgiving and quick edge-to-edge for a confidence boost on any and all terrain types.

Product Details

Shape

AutoTurn Rocker has a high camber underfoot with a low rocker in the tip and tail. Camber underfoot delivers power, energy, and edge grip for groomed run performance, and subtle rocker in the tip and tail delivers easy steering and effortless speed control for versatility in any terrain or snow type.

Extended Sidecut continues beyond contact point where tip and tail rocker start. As speeds and edge angles increase, more sidecut is engage for powerful full-length edge grip. At lower speeds the edge angles sidecut is less engages for more maneuverability and ease.

Construction

Cascade Tip, made up of varying shapes of metal and fiberglass laminates at staggered lengths that make the tip lighter to improve the swing weight and provide quick, adaptable turn initiation. Unique layered shapes control tip torsion, smoothing turn initiation and improving full edge contact.

Control Beam combined with Twin VAS absorbs vibrations and facilitates rebound by directing pressure to the extremities.

Bindings

Rossignol TPI²/Axium 100 Bindings are made of lightweight composite materials to aid in easier turn transitions, making skiing more fun and carrying skis a breeze. Easy step-in design with a long lever arm makes entering and editing the binding effortless. Tool-free binding enables easy adjustment by a certified technician.

Included Bindings

Bindings do not come mounted to the skis. Always have a certified technician mount and adjust the bindings.

Specs

Terrain

CarvingFor those that like the classic feeling of laying a ski over on edge and arcing a perfect turn, carving skis are what you want. These skis have narrower waists and shorter turn radii for edge to edge quickness and responsive turn initiation and exit on groomed runs and hard pack. The beginner-intermediate skis in this category are designed to make learning how to turn as easy as going from pizza to French fries.All-MountainAll-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.

Ability Level

Beginner-Intermediate
Whether you’re new to the sport or working on linking smooth turns, you fall into this ability level. Typical beginner skis and snowboards are usually built with softer materials, narrower widths, and feature cap construction for an easy to turn, forgiving ride. Beginner-intermediate boots and bindings are also built for ease of use and progression, featuring softer flexes and in the case of ski bindings, quick and safe release from the ski in case of a fall.

Rocker Type

Rocker/Camber/RockerRocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Tail Type

Partial Twin Tip
Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
